A genuine cheese from the La Mancha region, this artisan Manchego originates on small Spanish hillsides where La Mancha sheep graze. The small-scale, artisan production of this Manchego by Dehesa de los Llanos yields an exquisite cheese that is hand-formed, wrapped, and salted over a 24 hour period. Dry cured for one year in an eighteenth-century cave, this Manchego has a robust flavor reminiscent of the Mancha countryside. Enjoy it as the locals do - served before the meal, topped with a spot of membrillo (Spanish quince paste). Also lovely when dipped in honey.

La Mancha originated cheese is deserving of praise by Cerevantes for the knight errant. Dulcinea would have served it to her admirer to keep his attentions.

Pricey for Manchego but decent

This was good but a bit on the pricey side for this quality you can find easy at your local grocery store ([ ] could beat it)

It must have been good!!!

Bought three cheeses from igourmet and put them out at a party with the tasting information. I put a jar of quince paste out with this manchego. Went to taste some and it was ALL gone...so it had to be good. I will have to re-order so I can attest to it myself!

Excellent Cheese!

Creamy taste, firm texture, slightly clumbly but did not lack moisture. Great when paired with a good quality Sherry and a little quince paste.

A solid Manchego

This is a good manchego, to be sure! It has a piquance, but it is not overwhelming. There is blend of aged cheese, with the earthiness that a Manchego brings, but countered by the slight saltiness. I agree with the description. A little touch of honey really brings this cheese to life!

Full, sharp.

Notable, strong taste, probably for a real cheese lover. Must be experienced and open. Use in mixing cheeses for cooking.

Manchego

This was a very good cheese and now I'm curious to try the less aged version.

Delicious

I decided to try this when browsing for another kind of cheese - glad I did. My daughter and I both think it's delicious.
